Discover Corps

Discover Corps is a new way to travel. Our authentic, off-the-beaten-track itineraries plug travelers into the daily lives of local people. Our connections, including our partnership with the National Peace Corps Association, allows for people-to-people connections that provide unique insights into a country and its culture. Whether it's learning to cook a regional delicacy, helping out at the village school, or sharing stories over cocktails with a local artist or activist, our trips across Asia, Africa, and Latin America give travelers unparalleled access to local communities.

Everything about this trip was great. Conraad and Lily have created a camp that is not only serene and beautiful, but also so comfortable and everyone feels like family. They paid attention to all the details when creating the camp- comfort, (beds are so cozy and comfortable), safety, amenities and beauty. The guides and trackers, Donovan, Elliott and Conraad were so knowledgeable and amazing in finding and identifying the animals and sharing their knowledge of them. Their confidence set us all at ease so I felt no fear as we drove up within 20 feet of a band of 5 male lions. We were able to sit and watch them for around 30 minutes. Totally an amazing experience. Meals are eaten with all the others in the camp and a great way to meet guests from other countries and to share the day’s adventures. We made several friends and are now facebook friends! The food is not only delicious, but the presentation just so appetizing. The entire program by DiscoverCorps is well run and enlightening. I feel so fortunate to have been able to go on the trip and will treasure the memories of it forever.

The Havana Weekend Getaway was an extremely enjoyable immersion into the arts and culture of Havana. Our guide was extremely attentive and accommodating and the agency was always quick to reply beforehand with our questions in preparation of the trip. The program packed in everything iconic you want to do in Havana. The staff, drivers, hosts, etc were all charming and pleasant. I will definitely use Discover Corp again!

Discover Corps' Arts and Culture trip exceeded expectations. Our guide was incredible, and made the trip an experience we could never have had on our own as independent travelers (which we usually are). It was a real immersion, with so many dimensions! The agenda was structured but super flexible, where our guide did everything possible to accommodate our different interests. History , music, culture, meeting and talking with Cubans - it was all there. And a its fascinating place. We're glad we went and would recommend this trip to anyone.

Amazing trip ! Very well organized , had an experience not only as a tourist but living in the homes of Cubans and getting to speak and learn from them added to the beauty of the trip . We went a day early and went to Fusterlandia on our own and Museum of revolution , highly recommend that !
The group size , tours and meals were all great and our guide Ernesto and driver Frank were both so helpful and made our trip fantastic . The only thing I would add for Discover corps is to have everyone arrive by a certain time. On the first day we spent hours in our gracious hosts home waiting for the last travellers to arrive, so all the plans had to be adjusted for the next day and the tour for the first day was cancelled and changed for the next day. Aside from this everything else was totally well organized and amazing !

I took my daughters on this trip and they absolutely loved it. Being able to get up close to wildlife that they had only seen in zoos really helped them understand wildlife in a deep and profound way. Overall, it was really fun - Conrad and Lily were great - and the lodge is unique and beautiful. It was a great immersion into the culture and wildlife of South Africa.
